Honestly, the "human extinction" level of climate change is very far away. Currently, we're preventing the "sunken coastal cities, economic crisis and famine in poor regions" kind of change, it's just that "we're all gonna die" sounds flashier.
We have the time to change the course, it's just that the sooner we do this, the less damage will be done. This is why it's important to solve it now.
Are we really preventing it? Seems like the track toward that change is mostly unabated. Sure, it's a couple of generations out before it gets serious, but what are the signs that the track has improved?
